How we Learn Geography at Earith Primary School: Intent, Implementation & Impact
Intent It is our intent for pupils: To know more and remember more about the local area, the UK, Europe and the World. To deepen their understanding of physical and human geographical processes, thereby fostering a curiosity and fascination for the world they live in. To develop understanding of concepts such as place, space, the environment and interconnection. To become skilled at asking and answering geographical questions such as, what is it like to live in this place? What are the challenges of this environment? To develop an understanding of their place in the world; to provoke and provide answers to questions about the natural and human aspects of the world. The school uses the Primary Knowledge Curriculum in order to support the delivery of the Earith Geography Curriculum. The principles of the PKC knowledge-rich curriculum are: Knowledge is valued and specified. Knowledge is well-sequenced. Knowledge is taught to be remembered. The content of the PKC Knowledge Curriculum has been carefully chosen by subject experts and been sequenced in a meaningful way that enables children to make connections and progress from unit to unit, term to term and year to year. This means the knowledge children will gain has been carefully specified, ordered coherently and builds over time. As the children work through the geography curriculum they will know more, understand more and remember more about the world around them.
